StarTropics

A downloadable version of the 1990 NES/Famicom game, provided through Nintendo's Virtual Console service.

When your vacation to an island in the South Seas is met by the unlikely occurrence of a falling meteor, the adventure of a lifetime begins. Your archaeologist uncle has been kidnapped, and only you can rescue him from a cruel fate. There'll be plenty of village folk to lend assistance, but deadly enemies wait at each step of the journey which will take you from the depths of the jungle to the floor of the ocean. Armed with a yo-yo, a few magic potions, and mysterious island weapons, you'll fight sea monsters, thugs, and bizarre creatures never before seen by human eyes. Are you brave enough to save your uncle?
